i don't know how much you want to spend but there is a Capital Grille right next to Atrium mall and a Cheesecake Factory in the mall. I think you'd get off the pike at Exit 14 (128/95) and have to go 3-4 exits to the Rt 9 exit and then head east towards Brookline. Its not really my territory, but before the Natick Collection opened I used to frequent the Atrium mall once in a while. Sec 40 might know of some hidden gems in that area but I just know those two really. I forget what else is in the Atrium but I know there are some other restaurants other than cheesecake.

there's a Met in the Natick Collection that I haven't been to but I know people like. Probably lots of milfs from Sudbury/Weston/Wayland/Natick there during lunch hours. You could also do Buffs I don't know how sloppy you want to get.

Met Bar is right on Rt 9 and is fits the bill. Coach Grill on Rt 20 in Wayland (10 minutes from 128) is technically a chain but its the same chain that owns Abe + Louies.Blue on Highland, 5 minutes up Highland Ave right off exit 19B (Muzi Ford Exit) Those places are all close to the highway and are not Mall locales, PF Chang's as mentioned earlier resides in the Natick Collection, right across from Big Papi's, which is probably not what you're looking for.
